Not trying to dig him out in anyway shape or form. I was just a bit surprised by his general demeanor as I'm so used to see a wholehearted chest thumping type of display from him in those situations. Maybe it's just me though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As others have said, tricky given the circumstances (ten minutes left and us under the cosh). I have no reason to believe that Fam is not a wholehearted player, but if he feels (as Eliasson did) that he doesn’t fit in with Holden’s plans, then I think you can forgive him for being a bit glum, particularly if he was expecting a transfer that hasn’t materialised.

Again, agree. Definitely nothing to forgive as far as I'm concerned. As per my earlier post it was only an observation which I think your reply better explains and what I perhaps should have said in my original post. Its a shame really as it does make you wonder if it's the beginning of the end of Fam either by fading out as a result of any non-sale or of course by leaving.

Packman Posted October 3, 2020 Report Share Posted October 3, 2020 Would people want another striker if Fam left? 1 injury and we would be looking very light. I would say we could chuck Weimann up top but he's playing so well in midfield, big decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but I would possibly be looking at a “youngish” striker without huge expectations of starting every week, more to provide cover this season. If that makes sense.

Yeah, there was a particular moment that I noticed when he didn't bother running across to close down a defender who was say 10 yards away. Instead Weimann, who had been running hard all game, sprinted a good 30 yards to get goal side. Semenyo put more of a shift in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That happened an awful lot when they played up top together....and why I always had a bit of a beef against those that said he was hardworking. Not saying he’s lazy, just not at full-tilt enough imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Rizzle Posted October 4, 2020 Report Share Posted October 4, 2020 8am Sunday morning. Strange Instagram post by Fam. Clearly waiting to travel somewhere. Is he off to sign for someone? Going on holiday or on international duty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonBristolian Posted October 4, 2020 Report Share Posted October 4, 2020 I don't reckon Fam is going anywhere soon. I suspect he isn't going to sign a new contract and will ultimately move on but, unless I've misunderstood the rules, his deadline for a move abroad is tomorrow and for a domestic move is just under two weeks. The various rumours of moves to Turkey or France seem to have faded away and there doesn't seem to be much going on in terms of rumours of moves to a domestic club, on top of which a domestic would surely need to be a Premier League team for it to make sense for him. I suspect, like Eliasson, we would let him go if a reasonable offer came in given his contract situation but it seems at the moment that the offer is not coming in so I reckon he'll be here until January at the very least.

I’d like a quick one, one who runs off the shoulder.

Those closest are on loan I.E. Janneh but even he isn’t that close IMO. i don’t think we need another striker even if Fam moves on. Happy with wells and Martin up top with semenyo and not forgetting weimann as 4th striker. Releases an extra bench spot for a midfielder too.

That might already be sorted by the club’s view of Janneh, Britton, Bell etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shtanley Posted October 4, 2020 Report Share Posted October 4, 2020 I think when Morrell and Walsh return we may see Weimann regularly moved up top late on and a midfielder brought on (for the striker not swapped for Semenyo) Janneh maybe could've been that 4th choice striker when Fam goes but he probably needs a loan to get back used to playing again after his injuries. Sam Bell one of the better strikers for u23s atm. Britton is on loan at torquay for only a month, could come back and occasionally be involved in the squad if Fam goes.

From the very small sample I've seen, it looks to me that Britton is a natural scorer, but I don't know if he is up to the physical side of league games yet ? It'll be interesting to see how he gets on at Torquay in the National League. He did well in mens football at Mangotsfield but its a big step up to Torquay and above.
